WWE: 6 Divas That Must Return In 2014

2. Kharma

I think it’s safe to say that there’s no woman in the history of wrestling that has ever been as physically imposing as Awesome Kong, also known as Kharma. She’s also a former WWE employee that has not been given the opportunity to really show the WWE Universe what she’s capable of.

Kharma stands at an imposing 5’11” and used to wrestle at a listed weight of about 275 pounds. She’s lost some weight since then, but she’s still one of the biggest women wrestlers ever. You know what the best part is? She’s really good in the ring too.

She’s very experienced at 36 years of age with plenty of awesome matches against the top women all over the world. She’s wrestled for many independent wrestling promotions in America, she’s done several tours in Japan and had a very successful run in TNA Wrestling. Her feud with Gail Kim in TNA is one of the best women’s feuds in the history of wrestling.

Kharma debuted in WWE the spring of 2011 after several weeks of videos hyping up her debut. It was a big deal. When she showed up, she destroyed every woman in her path. Two months later, she announced she was pregnant and had to leave. She returned at the Royal Rumble in 2012. Then she was gone again, soon to be released.

Her own Twitter (@Kharma) picture shows the physical transformation she’s gone under since she left WWE. She has trimmed down, gotten into the best shape of her life and is primed for a return to WWE.

I get the sense that WWE recommended she lose weight before they consider her again. She’s done that. Now it’s time to see what she can do.

One scenario that I think would work really well was if AJ Lee was in the ring doing a cocky heel promo about how she’s beat everybody that WWE has to offer up against her. Then we hear the cackling music of Kharma while AJ starts freaking out and out walks Kharma to a big ovation because the fans will know it’s time for AJ to get destroyed. It’s an easy storyline that would work.

I think she has unfinished business in WWE and can work very well as a heel or face. I think the heel role would be great the beginning because she can bully other women due to her size, but if she turned babyface she would have success in that role because she would generate big reactions from the fans wanting to see her kick somebody’s ass.

The potential for Kharma in WWE is great. I hope it’s realized sooner rather than later.

In my opinion Chyna and the lesser known Nichole Bass are at least as physically imposing or possibly more. As for Mickie James, she is one of my favourite Women Wrestlers as well but I disagree with you about her needing to return to WWE, because she needs to return to TNA which is better than WWE… Hardcore Country ;)

I would love to see maryse back in WWE , but the Divas Division would be better with Kelly Kelly and Melina. Anyone agree ??? And John Canton can I ask you ? If im going to be a gay wrestler in WWE , Which division I will be ? In the mens division or divas division?

you really hit the nail on the head in this article. I get so infuriated when I read articles on wrestler’s or diva’s relative attractiveness or beauty and see someone other than MARYSE listed as number one. MARYSE is much more than just the most beautiful; she is by far the most ENTERTAINING as well. remember the gobbledy-gooker followed up with her victory over kelly and then insulting melina and calling melina a “poopy.” MARYSE has great mic skills and she and the miz would be a perfect tandem . . . . . ooh OUI

i would love to see lita make a return she is probably one of the best female wrestlers in wwe history she was beautiful, skilled in the ring, not afraid to take on the guys, would do leaps and jumps women wouldnt dare try to do today, and she is a fan favorite and she is a veteran that can whip these divas into shape i would love for lita to just do one more run with wwe
i also think victoria should return she did good in tna and is another veteran that would show the divas how its done

This is a good list of Diva choices. I would really love to see any of these women arrive in WWE because the Divas Division just seems so lacking after all the elements that Sunny, Sable, Chyna, Lita and Trish Stratus contributed to the company. I just really hope that WWE just make an adjustment to the PG rating to give the Creative Team some more freedom and also create a 1 hour Divas show like the way they have WWE Main Event and WWE Superstars. That way, all of the matches can be Diva Matches and they can increase the roster size to have crazy Diva pandamonium!!!!!

Actually the last Divas division championship contest at a Wrestlemania was Melina vs Ashley at Wrestlemania 23. But in case of the match being impressive and being able to get the crowd jumping, Mickie and Trish’s was the last great championship bout at a Wrestlemania. But everything else from this article hit the nail on the head. :)

Well written good article in general, with valid choices to boot. I especially like seeing Angelina Love listed. She was outstanding and versatile in TNA and could be a great asset to breaking in a new era for the Divas.

Come to think of it, seeing Angelina Love trade barbs and one upmanship with another lady you listed in Maryse could be a lot of fun. Make it happen, Vince. Please.

Great list! I get so upset when I see lists like these that contain the names of untalented, over-rated women (Kelly Kelly, Eve Torres, Kaitlyn, ect.). It’s good to see that all six of the women you listed are talented, versatile wrestlers with charisma and beauty to match their in-ring talent. The only name I can think to add is Katie Lea (or Winter, as she was called in TNA). She’s one of my favorites of all time, a truly under-rated performer with loads of charisma and a very entertaining character.
